5 Days since surgery and back to Work!

My surgery was last Wednesday and Dr Tim Hoen performed it www.kcbariatic.com I am telling you it could have not been easier. I was up walking a few hours after surgery and really could have come back to work Friday, but took the weekend and transition was even better. I am both mentally and physically better.

 

The worst part for me was gas pain and not being able to get any fluids down. As a matter of fact I really had to force myself to try and get 12-20 ounces of fluid down the next few days. However I took liquid gas reliever Malox and did walk 15 minutes 2 x a day. The walking help relieved the gas pains and each day was better.

 

I am back to work today, Of course I am in sales and on the phone quite a bit so nothing to difficult or strenuous.

 

Just an update on my weight. I started the liquid diet at 328 and pre surgery I was 310 and since surgery I am now under 300 for the first time in over 2 years. The really cool thing is that I will never be over 300 again and each time I step on the scale it is something to look forward to instead of regretting.

 

 

Thanks for reading

How long did it take for your gas and "uneasy" soreness to go away. I'm only 5 days out, and I will go to work tomorrow, but my stomach is sore, sore and bloated, and I still have a lot of gas. Will each day get better like they say?

Each day does get better and especially after one full week. You will be surprised. Sleeping is easier and getting down your fluids becomes easier. Good luck to you!

Yvonne, I really wish you the best of luck! I will be praying for you. I tell you I look forward to stepping on that scale instead of regretting looking down at the number. It is truly a great feeling knowing I will never weigh that much again.

Please feel free to call anytime.

Thanks,

Dennis
